• DUE TO PUBLIC HEALTH REQUIREMENTS AND THE DESIRE TO PROTECT THE COMMUNITY, OUR MUSICIANS AND SUPPORTERS. IT HAS BEEN DECIDED NOT TO HOLD PHYSICALLY ATTENDED EVENTS IN GLENCOLMCILLE THIS SUMMER.

• HOWEVER WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE WITH A FULL PROGRAMME OF EVENTS FOR FIDDLE WEEK!

• THERE WILL BE ON-LINE FIDDLE CLASSES – IN ORDER TO DETERMINE IF THE CLASSES ARE SUITABLE FOR YOU. WE HAVE SOME PRE-RECORDED FIDDLE CLASSES ALREADY AVAILABLE ON– https://donegalfiddlemusic.ie/fiddle-video-lessons/

• MOST OF THE TEACHERS HAVE A FAIRLY SIMPLE TUNE TO LEARN, IF YOU CAN LEARN A TUNE USING THIS METHOD THEN THESE CLASSES WILL BE OF BENEFIT TO YOU.

• UNFORTUNATLY WE WON’T BE ABLE TO OPERATE A BEGINNERS CLASS THIS YEAR.
